Navigation Comments begin rolling in on ABA’s role in Bar admission requirements

“[T]he current system provides no viable pathway for experienced professionals like me to pursue licensure without returning to law school and spending three years in a classroom, despite having more than 30 years of practical, real-world legal experience.”
Philipson is one of a handful of writers who submitted comments to the Judicial Management Council’s “Workgroup on the Role of the American Bar Association in Bar Admission Requirements.”
